[Each verse sing words over chords D - A - G, 4x][Between verses play Main Riff 4x]WordsD A GThey divided up all the landWe've got states and citiesCities have their neighborhoodsAnd more subdivisionsThere's lots of area codesAnd nine digit zip codesSecret decoder ring codesArteries, shopping nodesThere's countries divided by wallsOceans and latitudesAnd longitudes longing to find outWhat there missingWe'll invent some new computersLink up the global villageGet API, UPI, ReutersTo tell everybody the news, newsWe'll be one happy neighborhoodSpread out across the worldBut who's gonna stop that burglar from breaking into my houseWhen he lives that far awayWe'll be just like old friendsNo means to your endsThe police state is too busyAnd the neighborhood's getting out of handBig Brother on every wallMuzak plays in all the hallsEmpires see the rise and fallThey divide and conquerIt's not about my politicsSomething happened way to quickA bunch of me who played it slickThey divide and conquerIt's all here before your eyesSafety is a big disguiseThat hides among the other liesThey divide and conquerWell I expect I won't be heardCause my silence is assuredNever a discouraging wordThey divide and conquer
